Black Friday Deals For Mom (2018 Edition)

If you’re anything like me, Black Friday is my favorite shopping day of the year. It ’s when I start looking for deals on items that have been on my wishlist all year and when I get most of my Christmas shopping done.

What is Black Friday

Black Friday is the day after the US Thanksgiving holiday. It marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season in the US. It is said that it’s when shop owners started to turn a profit and in their accounting books, went from marking thier profits in red ink to black ink to show they were now in the positive.

And for us, it holds the promise of an amazing deal all the while scratching things off our Christmas list.

How to Find the Best Black Friday Deals
